[Zope-dev] zope.testing 3.8 fails in mysterious ways

[Martin Aspeli]

Hi,

I'm running the plone.z3cform tests in a Zope 2.10 instance with 
zope.testing 3.8 installed.

All other tests seem to work OK, but with plone.z3cform's tests, I get:

$ ./bin/instance test -s plone.z3cform
Running tests at level 1
Running plone.z3cform.testing_zcml_layer tests:
   Set up plone.z3cform.testing_zcml_layer in 0.972 seconds.
   Running:

   Ran 26 tests with 0 failures and 0 errors in 0.219 seconds.

   Tear down plone.z3cform.testing_zcml_layer ... not supported

The tests are here: 
http://svn.zope.org/repos/main/plone.z3cform/trunk/plone/z3cform/tests.py

Any ideas?
